‘Transport’: physical and sensory and..(Oh My!)

Just saw this latest footage of SpaceX’s “Grasshopper” reusable booster prototype being tested. It’s now jumping to 280 feet and then re-landing in it’s own footprint. By Jove, I think they are on to something!

Oh, and here’s a funky Indiegogo project: a Raspberry Pi-based drone detector that can SMS or email you an alert via wifi. It analyzes the audio signatures of known drones, ignores lawnmowers and the like.
